In any case, I can agree that in general the writing for the show is problematic and has been for a long time.

Sorry, I guess that was another Jack fan in the thread. It's been kind of a pile on, so I apologize for not being able to keep track.

I just feel like sharing that Matt Ashford is the only actor I have ever made an effort to see in person, and I generally consider myself a fan of the character. But all this discussion makes me want is never, ever see him show his face in Salem ever again.

This discussion didn't make that happen for me, but it did reinforce it. What good could come of a Jack come back with these writers anyway? Let Jack stay dead. And I've thought that since MA's last exit was announced.

I'm not sure that's what granolagirl meant with her reference to the "pile on," lol.

In any case, I agree with you. Keith. And I've been saying the same thing for a while now. I wish the writers would stop bringing up Jack and using him for story purposes. I cringe whenever they have any character say his name. I wish they would stop.
